| 08:39.12 | wethrin | ho ho |
| 08:39.26 | wethrin | hopes all these Thatcher naysayers don't eat soft scoop ice cream |
| 08:41.29 | morsing | ? |
| 08:41.53 | wethrin | When she was working as a chemist, she was part of the team that invented the soft scoop stuff |
| 08:42.10 | morsing | ... |
| 08:42.12 | wethrin | There's a research paper published about it; she's one of the authors (under her maiden name) |
| 08:46.57 | ChoHag | Actually I find that generally bland. |
| 08:47.06 | ChoHag | But usually the best thing the truck has on offer. |
| 08:49.41 | wethrin | I don't like soft scoop ice cream |
| 08:52.28 | morsing | It's superb... When it comes to ice cream anyway... |
| 08:52.39 | morsing | Same as Maggie... Superb |
| 09:13.40 | yaMatt | would be nice to have a scientist in charge of the government |

| 10:36.38 | ChoHag | reddit's been a ghost town since they fucked up that witchhunt. |
| 10:43.48 | yaMatt | hahah |
| 10:44.25 | yaMatt | it's rare for a web service such as that to die so quickly, but I guess it was never popular, more of a cult |
| 10:44.40 | ChoHag | That doesn't make sense. |
| 10:44.43 | ChoHag | Cults are popular. |
| 10:44.51 | ChoHag | It's what keeps them alive. |
| 10:45.06 | ChoHag | I don't know if it's dead, just mortally embarrased. |
| 10:45.13 | yaMatt | heheh |
| 10:45.30 | ChoHag | Frankly I think it was only worse than everything else because it's so much better. |
| 10:45.54 | ChoHag | Can you imagine the result of facebook or yahoo if it had that level of cooperation? |
| 10:46.03 | ChoHag | Or, dear god, any mainstream newspaper? |
| 10:46.30 | ChoHag | I abandonded 'the media' long ago, so from my perspective the whole thing was comical. |
| 10:46.59 | ChoHag | Apart form the, you know, real lives being in danger and any semblence of remaining liberty being ripped to shreds part. |
| 10:48.31 | yaMatt | I stopped consuming standard news media last year, Boston is the first time anything of impact has bubbled in to my conciousness but it's interesting to see how the media fucked up on such a grand scale |
| 10:49.22 | yaMatt | the last 2 year in particular the news media have really gone nuts and they have lost a lot of trust, what is fun about these sorts of events is that they go more nuts just when people want better information |
| 10:49.38 | ChoHag | I think I stopped when I realised consuming was all I was doing. And it was just the intellectual equivalent sugar with no substance. |
| 10:50.02 | yaMatt | but it's like any dieing organisation they go a bit weird towards the end |
| 10:50.25 | yaMatt | ChoHag, exactly, there was a good post recently in the guardian along those lines that I found through Twitter |
| 10:51.11 | yaMatt | http://m.guardiannews.com/media/2013/apr/12/news-is-bad-rolf-dobelli |
| 10:51.59 | yaMatt | nothing new in there to be honest, but it's interesting it's made it's way in to mainstream media which means it's become common-place |
| 10:52.25 | yaMatt | but it confirms what you are saying and how I felt |
| 10:56.09 | ChoHag | Yep. Sounds about right. |
